Team GT Motorsports – Formula Student Team GTU:

More than 15 institutions affiliated to Gujarat Technological University (GTU) have

participated at various levels of national and international Automotive Design Series

Competition. GTU has been pioneering in bringing intervention and sphere heading best

practices which have been attempted at various college levels. GTU believes that, given a

support system at central level, infusing better resource capital, extending superior hand

holding facility and bootstrapping complimentary skill sets of various teams and their

members, these students can outperform any other team at national and international level.

Team GT Motorsports is a result of the above mentioned Ideology and Initiative from

GTU. Team GT Motorsports is a Formula Student Team of Gujarat Technological University

(GTU) based in LD College of Engineering (Host Institute), Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The Team

was formed in April 2014 with 7 GTU Affiliated Colleges signing the MOA to form a Team

under GTU. The team has a well blend mixture of juniors with their energy and passion and

seniors with their talent and experience. Here at GT Motorsports, we build and race an open-

wheel, single seated Formula Style race car learning teamwork, design and manufacturing

skills along the way. We represent GTU at 2 gathering each year namely: Formula Student

INDIA & Supra SAEINDIA.

Our ambition is to bring GT Motorsports closest to a “real-world engineering

experience”, not strictly limited to automotive design and racing. The team was formed for

the students to enhance their learning experience and to go from book smart to street smart.

Our motto being “Building People, not just Race Cars” we focus on overall development of

an individual joining the Team.

Circular for Recruitment:

The final dates for Recruitment were finalised taking into consideration all the aspects of

students’ issues and examination schedule. Team GT Motorsports drafted a Recruitment

Circular for the GTU’s website.

Selection Procedure:

The Selection procedure is divided into 3 parts:

1. Written Test.

1. Written Test.

General Written test paper (50 Marks) consisted of 2 parts. The 1st part was completely based

on Rulebook (25 Marks) and the 2nd

part consisted of Basic Automotive Understanding &

Garage Practice (25 Marks). For ICT branches, the 2nd

Automotive Electricals & Programming (25 Marks). The entire paper was MCQ based.

A Separate paper was prepared in addition to above mentioned Paper for students interested

in designing (CAD/CAM/CAE) which consisted of Logical Reasoning & Design

Fundamentals (30 Marks).

2. Personal Interview.

The students were instructed to attach their Curriculum Vitae and a Personal Information

Questionnaire (PIQ Form) which was already provided to them when they registered in the

Google form. All profiles were judged based on their performance in the written test and their

submitted documents.

The selected students were then interviewed one by one by Faculty Advisor, Senior Team

Members and Alumni of the Team. Detailed interview of every selected candidate and the

panel looked for every minute details of the candidate ranging from Academic knowledge to

the enthusiasm for learning new things and readiness for working round the clock for the

team.

3. Personal Work Assessment.

Based on the interaction with the students in the interview they were assigned a task for

which they were provided 2 weeks to finish the task and revert a report to the team.

Tasks were divided into 3 broad sections: CAD, Marketing & Public Relations and Content

Development (Reports).

The above mentioned selection process was developed and implemented to filter students &

ensured no talent is left behind. A higher Emphasis was given on selection of junior students

(1st year & 2

nd year) who are interested in learning alongside experienced people who can

take them forward.
